Unable to Microsoft Remote Desktop (MRD) into Desktop using Macbook from External Network

Error Message: 0x300005f

OS: Windows 11 Pro

RDP Initiator: Microsoft Remote Desktop (Apple App Store)

Issue:Every attempt (100+ times now) to initiate an RDP session using the public IP address, the Host PC name, the gateway IPv4 address, and username/domain name have failed

I managed to get it to work on the LAN using the local private IPv4 address on the home network; however, attempting to RDP in from outside the network is not working despite having disabled both firewalls, opened ports 3389 in the router, and edited group policies.

TLDR: Has anyone successfully accessed a Windows 11 Pro desktop using their M2 Macbook from outside the LAN?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.2
